I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at AUTO1 Group in Dec 2021
Interview
The process has 2 steps, 1 HRs interview and technical interview. On both HR and technical interviewers were prepared bad. The HR started the interview and many times talked to me saying other name, it was until me and her colleague corrected her.
Technical interview consists of two parts, live coding and questions. The part of technical questions were too random, unstructured, and not related to the project, expert wasn't prepared.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AUTO1 Group in Dec 2024
Interview
HR was 5 minutes late, did not turn on the camera and started asking questions right away without even saying they were sorry to keep me waiting. They were basically asking questions like robots non-stop both technical and behavioral. It was like tech interview made by an HR which makes no sense.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AUTO1 Group (Berlin) in Oct 2024
Interview
All the people I met along the interview track were really nice. First interview with HR folk, will ask your pretty simple java questions during the process of screening. The second interview is a theory, lasted for 1 hour, you will be asked a lot of lang questions, to resolve or explain the issues on different pieces of code. The third interview lasted about 90 minutes, live coding, you will have to write a simple feature and then will be asked to improve it, with no dependency injection support, pure java, also some questions should be about ci/cd processes. I failed here, unfortunately. The fourth interview should be about system design, The fifth interview should be the final interview with the boss, I believe.

Question 1
Given the piece of code what issues could you name and how would you fix it?
It is time consuming: 3 stages. It has medium hard live coding and technical interview also it has system design. I dont like the fact that it was so long ;9
